What Noordelijk Onderwijsgilde does

Noordelijk Onderwijsgilde (NOG) is a professional development center (professionaliseringscentrum) based in Drachten, Friesland, Netherlands, focused on training for specialist and inclusive (passend) education. Founded in 2007, the organization serves teachers (leerkrachten), teaching assistants, internal counselors (IB), and school management teams across special primary schools, practical education, regular primary, and secondary schools. Its geographic scope is the Northern Netherlands region, and the operation is small with only 5 employees.

NOG delivers a multi-format training portfolio consisting of individual modules, theme-based colleges (themacolleges), masterclasses, workshops, webinars, and e-learning courses, plus a specialized language development program called TAALBASIS. Training is co-designed with schools for special (basis) education, practical education, and regular primary or secondary institutions, and is validated through the Registerleraar (Dutch Teacher Registry) system. The Mijn-NOG portal serves as the self-service registration and access platform, alongside direct phone and email contact.

The business operates as a private professional services provider generating revenue through training delivery. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers access offerings through the Mijn-NOG portal or direct contact. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no subsidiaries, and no parent company. The organization depends on collaborative partnerships with schools for content design and distribution rather than a broad-based marketing or sales motion.

• KPC Groep: Dutch provider of professional development and organizational learning for educators and school teams, with a national presence. Comparable to NOG in target audience (teachers, school leaders) and PD format, but with broader geographic coverage.

Others

• VELON: Dutch association for teacher educators and teacher-training institutions. Adjacent rather than directly competing, but connected to the same ecosystem of teacher PD and quality standards that NOG serves.
• Effectief Onderwijs: Dutch educational organization whose terms of delivery are referenced on the NOG website, suggesting a legal or operational relationship. Relevant as an adjacent/related entity rather than a direct competitor.
• Stichting Beroepskwaliteit Leraren (SBL): Dutch foundation managing the Registerleraar teacher-recertification system, by which NOG's courses are validated. Not a direct competitor but a critical ecosystem dependency that defines NOG's quality mark and recurring demand.
